  Excellent tour with Ozzy. He knew the roads and timings for the busy spots really well. Very informative and great fun. Definitely recommend this as a small minibus means you can go places coaches can't.

  This tour was a huge disappointment and felt like a blatant money grab aimed at tourists. What we actually paid for was an extremely overpriced transportation service rather than a guided experience. The price included a van and a driver who only spoke Spanish, while the guide was in a separate car and met us briefly at each stop. His explanations amounted to little more than pointing things out — “this is the volcano,” “this is the viewpoint,” “this is the coffee shop” — before telling us to explore on our own for a short, fixed amount of time. We gained almost no meaningful information. In fact, we learned more from the itinerary than from the guide himself. It was also very clear that his attention was mainly on two other tourists who appeared to be on a private tour in the other car, leaving us feeling overlooked and undervalued. Overall, this experience felt like a poor use of money and a major letdown. What should have been one of the highlights of our holiday turned into one of its weakest moments. I would strongly advise others to skip this tour and opt for public transport or a rental car instead — you’ll get far better value and likely a more rewarding experience.

  We are giving it 2 stars because it was not what we paid for. We paid a lot for a private tour and a memorable experience which did not deliver on its promise. The guide / driver was also guiding another tour group, which followed our car in another vehicle. As they were a sizeable group with many questions, he prioritised them over us. This has never happened to us before, and left us disappointed. Secondly, it was not a fully guided tour; we were given information in the car, some at drop-off points and left to walk around the sights by ourselves. Whilst the car itself and drive was fine, there was not even a courtesy bottle of water in it. Finally, the tour started 20 mins late with no response when we tried to contact them during this period, even though the start time was confirmed to us in writing 24 hrs prior. So essentially you are paying a huge price for a car, a generally informative and polite driver/guide, but NOT a private tour that’s feels exclusive or memorable.

  This experience felt like nothing more than an outrageously overpriced taxi ride designed to squeeze money out of tourists. The fee supposedly covered a “guided tour,” but in reality it only included a van and a driver who spoke no English. The actual guide wasn’t even in our vehicle — he followed in a separate car and would briefly meet us at each stop only to point and say things like, “this is the volcano,” “this is the tree,” or “this is the viewpoint,” before telling us to wander around on our own for 10 or 20 minutes. We learned more from the written itinerary than from the guide himself. It was painfully obvious that his attention was focused on two other tourists who were getting a private tour in the other car, while we were treated as an afterthought. This was a complete disappointment and a total waste of money. What was supposed to be one of the highlights of our entire holiday turned into one of its biggest letdowns. Save your money — you’ll be far better off taking a bus or renting a car and exploring on your own.

  I booked this tour having seen many reviews lauding the small group size. On the morning we were due to take the tour, the guide (Ossi) contacted us to say that the local government had decided to restrict traffic to Teide by tour vehicles, and offered us a stargazing tour on Mt Teide instead. The tour guide did not inform us that this other tour would be with a much bigger group (c.50 people vs 8) or that most of the tour group would be having dinner at a restaurant where we were obliged to wait for an hour a third of the way up the mountain. We were not offered the option of paying to have dinner with the other travellers and the restaurant refused to make a meal for us (likely due to pre-orders), offering only a small selection of pre-prepared starters and sides (unlike the other visitors who got 3 course meals). The tour itself was, by contrast, excellently led by Ossi who is clearly enthusiastic about astronomy as well as Tenerife and Teide. The views were very beautiful. I think what the substitute tour offered is a reasonable programme, but I also think informing us the alternative would be with a group many times the size, who had prepaid for dinner, which we would not be getting and would have to wait for, were elements of unfortunate tourist hustling. If we’d been given this info ahead of time it would have enabled us to make a proper decision about whether to continue, instead of a third of the way up Mt Teide and being told we could take a taxi down if we didn’t like it.

• Great Experience with Scenic Views and an amazing Tour Guide (Ozzie)

  Ozzie was an amazing tour guide with an incredible knowledge of Tenerife’s history. He was more than happy to accommodate all of our questions and requests, which really enhanced the experience. He was fluent in English, German, and Spanish, and made everyone in our group feel included and welcome. The tour itself was fantastic—we visited so many great sites, and the scenery was absolutely incredible. I would absolutely recommend Tenerife Stars without hesitation!

  Our guide, Ossi, was extremely knowledgeable and presented us Lots of interesting information about the island and the volcanic history. And this with a good sense of humor.
